That's just loovely, mate! I wish you well. Take what you get out of the coaxial and apply it to a single rotor later.

Gday mate,guess what i just did.........
I know youre not really spose2 fly coaxials outside but who can really resist sometimes.
I thought it was calm but bugger me she was hard to hold on to.Crash!!!yep.
No other damage than pride but still devistating.Just how bloody calm does it need to be?
If u want to see the crash then ill put it up with the rest along with a few other wipeouts caught on film.
Still dont know what u blokes think of my flyin???
I dont have any other people to ask so i would really appreciate an opinion on my progress.

can move that thing around pretty good, you got enough space there for a HBFP, with your skills already it wouldn't take you long at all to get the hang of it

very nice and smooth. great job!

it just takes some practice to get the message. these things are fun when you arent afraid anymore, but it makes others afraid of you, by chasing people around the house![>:]

to spruce things up i got a magnet and hung it down under the chopper and pick up batterys and such, then drop them off at the table. little bit of challenge.

i also bought some AXE EZ blades and they have less pitch, it changed the flight characteristics SO much, the blades spin up faster, its more "loose" and out of controll, requiring constant right stick to keep it in line and it flys way faster, now i can get blade strike easy.
but good news is they are super strong, a blade strike only caused little dents on the blades.

so if you think you are brave enough, get these blades. (they are scary)
